Monday, October 12th, 2009Where the Wild Things Are have been everywhere, from free iPhone apps to fort contests, shirts to skateboards, from Newsweek to New York. And as the highly anticipated film of Maurice Sendak’s classic book finally premieres this Friday, October the 16th, expect the non-stop coverage to continue including on this here site of chumpchampions.
Now here’s Vice magazine’s contribution to all things Wild: artwork-a-day from 24 different contributing artists inspired by the Wild Things; and their interview with director Spike Jonze as he reveals how Sendak asked him several times to make the film, how the Wild Things are actually “wild emotions”, and how he thinks the purple lights on Virgin airlines are “the most unflattering, ugly, color-draining light” and need to be changed.
